Microlight Social Activities IN all forms of flying there's a healthy social scene - as you'd expect when people share a common passion. And microlight flying is no different! From a round of beers bought in the Waterside Bistro in Strathaven by a student after his first solo to a mass gatherings of hundreds of flyers in the Isle of Wight or the Isle of Man - two big events planned for 2007 - there's something for everyone. The main social events are regular fly-ins organised all over country. There's one on somewhere most weekends from Easter until October. Some, like the Connel fly-in, are now famous for their bad weather! We also hold fly-ins at Strathaven Airfield. Our first, in 2006, was held on the weekend of the annual Strathaven Balloon Festival. The balloonists flew from the town park on the Friday and Saturday and - after a wet and windy start - we had radio-controlled model aircraft and power kites flying at the airfield followed by some microlights. And in the winter months the local PFA strut organises monthly evening meetings. |
